Overwater bungalows in Bora Bora (source)

Check out any honeymoon destination list, and you'll likely find Bora Bora.

This incredible French Polynesian island is known for its stunning white sand beaches and unreal turquoise lagoon, as well as its unique overwater bungalows, which you can experience for yourself if you book a stay at Conrad Bora Bora Nui.

Not only that, but you'll smell the fresh and pleasant scent of vanilla wafting through the air - Bora Bora is renowned for its vanilla farms. Spend your days lazing on the beach while enjoying a refreshing beer or cocktail, or go kayaking, windsurfing, or even shark feeding if you dare.

You can spoil yourselves by booking a room at the Four Seasons Resort Bora Bora. You'll sleep in either overwater bungalows or beachfront villas, enjoying breathtaking views of Mount Otemanu. There are 4 on-site restaurants with various cuisines so you can eat your fill of delicious foods every day.

Don't forget to look outside at night too. It's quiet and peaceful, plus the skies are clear enough for some romantic stargazing.

Bali is arguably one the very best places to honeymoon if you want to jet off to Asia. The iconic Indonesian island offers you an escape from the rest of the world.

Bali is special since it's the only island in the nation that's predominantly Hindu. As a result, you'll find many beautiful and ancient stone temples set against a backdrop of gorgeous beaches and rice terraces.

You can indulge in beachside lounging in Bali, or you can dive in and surf, swim, snorkel, and more. Or you can stay on land and explore the majestic volcanoes, where you'll get excellent views of the island and the craters.

Whether or not you decide not to stay at the Blue Point Resort and Spa, you should at least visit it. It's perhaps the most famous 5-star hotel on the island, and it has an unbelievable infinity pool and a 4-sided glass church. After looking around, you can catch some waves at the small cliff here if that's what you're into.

For the night owls, there are plenty of beach shacks and bars where you and your love can hop from place to place.

The Maldives is another destination that consists of a collection of beautiful islands. It's very remote in the Indian Ocean, giving you and your new spouse the space you need to enjoy each other as a newly wedded couple.

Like a few of the previous destinations, you'll find overwater bungalows and villas in the Maldives. A stay at SAii Lagoon Maldives, Curio Collection by Hilton will show you exactly what we mean. And the 15-minute speedboat ride from the airport will be unforgettable too!

When you've had your fill of exploring the tropical waters, take a stroll down the beach at night to breathe in the fresh air and completely relax. And you can always duck into a bar or club on a whim!

If you've already been to the Maldives but want to stick to the Indian Ocean for your honeymoon, then a great alternative is Seychelles.

This is also another collection of islands that has pristine beaches, crystal clear waters, and as you may have already guessed, overwater villas and bungalows. In fact, if you stay at Constance Ephelia Resort Seychelles, you'll be right on top of the waters, a few steps away from soft, sandy white sand.

What makes the Seychelles islands special is the lush tropical forests full of palm trees and large boulders. You'll see exotic birds and ancient tortoises, which add to the life and vibrancy.

While you can have a peaceful and tranquil time in the day visiting the Victoria Botanical Gardens and splashing around in the beautiful waters, you can also dance your heart out at night at the many nightclubs. In addition, there are bars, pubs, casinos, and movie theatres for nighttime activities.

Take one look at Positano's steep streets, and you'll instantly know that this village belongs on a postcard. By day, you'll see its unique set of colourful buildings, and by night, you'll gaze at a coastline lit up by the dots of light from Positano.

That's just one part of the Amalfi Coast as well. There are several other vibrantly coloured villages, as well as deep blue waters and the most delectable Italian dishes to dine on. You can either make your way slowly through the villages, or you can visit each by boat.

For the best honeymoon possible, stay at Le Sirenuse. You'll be a stone's throw away from the coast, plus you'll have a bird's eye view of the surrounding beaches. Not to mention, there's also a Michelin-star restaurant on site, as well as an oyster bar.

View of lake, mountains, and trees in Queenstown (source)

New Zealand isn't necessarily the first place to pop up in people's minds when thinking of honeymoons. But Queenstown is one of the most romantic places in the world, especially for nature lovers!

This picturesque town has both mountains and lakes, as well as cosy hot springs. If you like to get your blood pumping more, then book bungee jumping and skiing in the winter with your sweetheart.

If you're going on a longer honeymoon, the rest of New Zealand is worth checking out too. It's full of mountains, glaciers, lakes, and even beaches. This island country has it all when it comes to nature, and a room with a view at Swiss-Belsuites Pounamu Queenstown will show you exactly that. You'll be just an 11-minute walk away from the lake!

Don't worry about the city's "quiet" moniker though. Although Queenstown is a small mountain town, there are numerous bars to party the night away to celebrate your nuptials.

Hawaii is known for being a tropical paradise, so you can't go wrong with any island. However, to make the most of your honeymoon, we suggest picking Maui.

This island isn't as jam-packed with tourists, and you can take a romantic drive along the scenic Road to Hana, stopping at various points along the way. Of course, you can also take a dip in the ocean, or you can go miles above on a helicopter tour to take in all of Maui's sights.

Spending your time at The Westin Maui Resort & Spa, Ka'anapali is ideal, as it was just renovated in 2012. In addition, there are 5 restaurants and bars, as well as a full-service spa and 6 outdoor pools. There's an adults-only area and a large waterslide for a quieter time, although if you have kids, they can spend time at the children's club.

After dark, venture outside for a lively nightlife scene. All along the beach, you'll find anything from laidback bars to wild parties.

Want to celebrate your honeymoon a little closer to home? Thankfully, there's a gorgeous destination nearby: Scotland.

There's always the big cities like Edinburgh and Glasgow. Staying a night or 2 at Hilton Edinburgh Carlton certainly wouldn't hurt, as you'll be in the middle of the Royal Mile, half a kilometre away from Holyrood Palace.

Tour the Highlands, where the lochs and glens will have you sighing contentedly. And of course, what trip to Scotland isn't complete without a whisky distillery tour? You and your spouse can save the bottle to remind you of treasured honeymoon memories.

Speaking of whisky, you can bet that there's exciting nightlife to be found in Scotland. While Edinburgh is deemed the party capital, honestly, you can have a good time at the pubs, bars, and clubs all throughout the nation.
